Hi,
I have entered the command to check the logon query in 2016 unfortunately I am not getting the count.
logon result shows zeoro. is there any alternate command available for 2016.
My infra is mixed 2008R2 and 2016 soon 2008R2 will be removed just one month back we have transitioned.
C:\Windows\system32>nltest /server:server1 /logon_queryHi All,
We are receiving high CPU alerts on few Domain Controllers due to LDAP queries & I found those AD objects into the ADDS Data Collector set report (SPA Report) & got the queries types as well.
Is there any way to find out which accounts are used for those LDAP queries ?

Hello everyone, I would appreciate your advice on how to remove traces of a recently demoted 2012 Std server.
Although the demotion appeared to go fine, there are still traces that are preventing the demotion of our last 2008 server.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Forest and Domain DNS infrastructure values are pointing to the retired server DC02, via ADSIEdit, DSQuery and LDP:
Value of: ForestDNS\DC=ForestDNSZone,DC=Mydomain,DC=com \ CN-Infrastructure:

Attempts to update the value manually error out and the vbs script in the below article fails on line 11 char 5 when run in an elevated cmd prompt:
ForestDNSZones or DomainDNSZones FSMO says “The role owner attribute could not be read”

What has happened is the DC who held the FSMO Role Holder for your DomainDNSZones or your ForestDNSZones (or both) application partition isn’t there anymore.
Someone deleted it, decommissioned it, basically it failed somewhere along the line but the DC owned one or more of your AD Integrated DNS Zones.
The deleted DC can be seen in the mess above after cn=___ and in most cases this means someone had to do metadata cleanup and forcibly removed the server from AD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The standard FSMO roles are fine:
C:\Windows\system32>netdom /query fsmo
Schema master GLDC01.Mydomain.com
Domain naming master GLDC01.Mydomain.com
PDC GLDC01.Mydomain.com
RID pool manager GLDC01.Mydomain.com
Infrastructure master GLDC01.Mydomain.com
The command completed successfully.

On a new site we have created all of the clients get a logon server for a different site. B
In ADSS the subnet is setup and assigned to the correct site.
I looked through DNS and everything seems to be ok and the kerberos dns setting for the site is pointing to the correct dc
If I run nltest /dsgetsite it returns the wrong site
Just yesterday a user starting having issues logging into a server. I had them reboot and found they couldn't log in at all. But it seems sporadic.
After much searching I am seeing the messages below on one of my domain controllers that point to the users object. These appeared, I suspect around when I attempted change their password because of these issues.
The DC in question was recently added (with in a month or so). They are 3 domain controllers running Server 2012R2 domain functional level 2003
Log Name: Directory ServiceLog Name: Directory Service
Source: Microsoft-Windows-ActiveDirectory_DomainService
Date: 7/5/2018 3:28:07 PM
Event ID: 1955
Task Category: Replication
Level: Information
Keywords: Classic
User: ANONYMOUS LOGON
Computer: Description:
Active Directory Domain Services encountered a write conflict when applying replicated changes to the following object.
Object:
CN=,OU=,DC=,DC=com
Time in seconds:
0
Event log entries preceding this entry will indicate whether or not the update was accepted.
A write conflict can be caused by simultaneous changes to the same object or simultaneous changes to other objects that have attributes referencing this object. This commonly occurs when the object represents a large group with many members, and the functional
level of the forest is set to Windows 2000. This conflict triggered additional retries of the update. If the system appears slow, it could be because replication of these changes is occurring.
User Action
Use smaller groups for this operation or raise the forest functional level to Windows Server 2003.
Hi,
Just want to ask on what should i consider before resetting the password for the account of Administrator in a domain.
Should there any be affected roles, services, etc.?
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm getting ready to do an FRS to DFSR migration. My new domain controllers are now on Server 2012 R2 and I've raised the functional level to it. When I run a dcdiag /e /c I see the following errors:
Starting test: VerifyEnterpriseReferencesCan anyone give me some insight on how to fix this before I proceed with the migration? Thanks.
Hello All,
I have a standard account and a DA account for administrative tasks and out of no where my DA account gets locked on different servers that i'm not even on. The security event logs on those server don't specify much info but we do have manageEngine ad audit which just tells me that it's locked and the cause was a specific server. How do I find out the cause of why my DA account keeps getting locked?
We have a cyber team so I don't believe it's anything malicious, I'm also new to this company and didnt set up any services with my account. What is a good way to troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
I need help.

Good day all, I am having difficulty enabling the recycle bin feature. From what I gathered recycle bin was enable in the past but during upgrade from 2008 and 2016, we received error that the recycle bin feature could not be found in active directory.
I have gone majority of guides on how to enable recycle bin. Using the Active Directory Administrative Center, enable recycle bin is greyed out. However when trying command under power shell it states that Object Recycle bin cannot be found.
Example:
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Enable-ADOptionalFeature 'Recycle Bin Feature' -Scope ForestOrConfigurationSet -Target 'domain.com' -server dc1
Error:

Also using ADSI editor, under CN=Partitions msDS-EnabledFeature field is empty.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. We will probably have to contact microsoft support, but wanted to check here first.
Hi everyone.
Can I just vent and say NLA is a pain in the ass! Why can't you alter it!!!
Anyway, back to my issue.
I have a Windows 2012r2 HyperV Host with a single DC VM. I have shutdown the VM and exported it, then imported the VM onto a different HyperV Hosts (still 2012r2) in for me to perform some testing.
The export and import went without a hitch, and when I logged into the VM on the new hosts, the network was connected with a domain profile bearing the domain name. everything looked perfect. I tried to open AD and got the error message...
Naming information cannot be location because:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
Contact your system administrator to verify that your domain is properly configured and is currently online.
So I rebooted the server just to ensure everything came up correctly. On reboot, the DC network changed from Domain to Public.
I have checked every single solution I can find. I have ensured DNS is up and running and that the primary DNS on the network is the same as the IP of the server. I have via powershell changed the profile from public to private, I have gone through the registry and followed changes there. stopped and restarted NLA, disabled and enabled the network. All of which end the same bloody problem. Public network no domain. I've even disabled the firewall completely and set the dns prefix to the domain and still nothing.
There are probably other steps I've found via Google that I'm forgetting but this is frustrating.
has anyone had this exact same issue with a DC being moved from one Host to another?
This is driving me nuts, there should be an option to select the network profile.
any help appreciated.

I'm tying to understand the output differences between the following commands:
gpresult /R produces many more records than Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership. I assume these are "Distribution Groups". However, gpresult /R doesn't seem to pick up some domain specific groups (e.g. Everyone, Remote Desktop Users, etc.) as well as other security groups picked up by Get-ADPrincipalGroupMembership.
I need a command that will, for a given user, provide a complete list of all security groups, distribution groups, and domain-specific groups.
Suggestions?
what are the use of default task schedule and a default task schedule of the single profiler?

Hi all,
Have a multi-domain forest: acme.com and child.acme.com. For users in this forest, would like to get direct and transitive(nested) group membership using LDAP interface. After looking at available options zeroed on using msds-memberoftransitive attribute as that has distinguished names of all groups having user as member.
Question 1:
User say user1 from acme.com can be member of Universal, Global and Domain Local groups of acme.com and Universal and Domain Local groups of child.acme.com. As expected, universal groups in one domain can have membership in Domain local groups of other domain.
With this kind of membership, does msds-memberoftransitve store distinguished names of all Universal, Global, and Domain Local groups having user as member(both direct and thru nested groups)?
Question 2:
What is the right way to read msds-memberoftransitive? Should LDAP bind be to Domain Controller of user domain Or Global Catalog?
In my lab set-up, by connecting to Domain Controller of either domain, not getting the complete list of groups. So, is Global Catalog the only source to read msds-memberoftransitive?
From https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn410792.aspx?ppud=4, SystemFlags for attribute indicate it's not replicated(systemFlags: FLAG_ATTR_NOT_REPLICATED | FLAG_ATTR_IS_CONSTRUCTED | FLAG_ATTR_IS_OPERATIONAL | FLAG_SCHEMA_BASE_OBJECT). Guess, by this, it means the attribute msds-memberoftransitive is not available with Global Catalog. Please correct if I am wrong
Thanks,
Lokesh
Hi Technet,
Last night I followed Microsoft Documentation to install the Directory Services role and then promoted a Server 2012 (Data Center) server to a Domain Controller in my environment. The role installation completed normally, and I was able to complete the promotion and reboot. Following a reboot, everything seems to be working 100% normally - but when opening Server Manager I noticed something strange:
Server Manager still says that I need to Promote the server to a Domain Controller. Even after additional reboots it still says this.
Meanwhile, Directory Services seems to be working perfectly on the server, and it's replicating correctly to all other DCs in my environment. No errors in event log on this server, or on other DCs in my environment related to this server. I am able to connect to AD Users and Computers on the new DC as well as other directory services snap-ins and they seem to be working properly as well - changes made using the snap ins on this server replicate to my other DCs and vice versa.
Specifics:
New DC: Server 2012 Data Center Edition, current Windows Updates.
All other DCs: Server 2008R2 SP1
DFL: 2008
FFL: 2003
All FSMO roles still on one of my 2008R2 DCs
At this point I'm not sure what to do except ignore this and chalk it up to a bug, but would love to hear from anyone else who has seen and perhaps resolved this, or from MS themselves for suggestions. I haven't been able to find any accounts from other people with this issue. I suppose I could run the promotion from server manager again and see what happens, but I'm hesitant to do this as everything appears to be working, and don't want that to result in damage / corruption / other issues in my existing AD Structure.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
